Growing up in a caring and kind household is something that many of us take
for granted.
I wasn't even aware until I reached a certain age that not every kid was
blessed with parents who genuinely cared about them.
Of course, millions of kids around the globe do not have access to a cozy
and loving household. One 12-year-old kid from Nashville, Tennessee, called
Andrew is fully aware of that.
He has reportedly spent about half of his short existence in foster care.
He was adopted in 2020, which is when his circumstances altered.
Another child named Joc Gill from the family who has been Andrew's foster
family for a while was already a close buddy of his.
It's obvious that the two lads have become quick friends because they enjoy
eating pop tarts and playing video games together. Kevin and Dominique Gill,
Joc's parents, have always cherished having Andrew around.
You can only picture Andrew's joy and astonishment when, while walking in
the park with Molly Parker, a Youth Villages employee, he learned that the
Gills had decided to adopt him.
Andrew said, "I just turned around the bend and saw everyone.
"They questioned, "Will you? and I responded "Yeah!"
#ThankYou Gill Family 😍 What a wonderful story Joc and Andrew. And I'm with them #FrostedCherryPopTarts! | A dream come true: Adoption unites best friends https://t.co/ZMmpI7PacO

According to statistics, there are over 8,000 children in the Tennessee
Foster System who are looking for a permanent home. Thankfully, thanks to
the Gills' generosity and humanity, there is one less.
Andrew said, "This is my brother, Joc."
Joc said, "This is my sibling, Andrew.
